Hexed

Description

2,100-year-old Atticus O'Sullivan, last of the Druids, discovers that he is in high demand after killing an ancient Celtic god. Gods from many other pantheons want him to knock off their rivals, and everyone - even his lawyer - wants him to teach Thor, the Norse thunder god, a fatal lesson. But that's just the beginning of our hero's troubles. Coyote, a Native American trickster god, is knocking on his door for help slaying a giant demon that's been preying on his people. A horde of sexy Bacchantes from Las Vegas are bringing their deadly brand of decadence to the sleepy desert town. And worse yet, a band of diabolical leather-clad Nazi witches are on the hunt - for Atticus! Atticus has survived for two millennia on the strength of his wits, street smarts, and awesome magic powers - and a little help from his friends, which include a Viking werewolf and a vampire lawyer - but will it be enough to save him this time?
